My stay at the Intercontinental Istanbul was overall good, thanks to the stellar staff and prime location. However, I did encounter some service issues that left a bit of a sour note. While the room and views were fantastic, the breakfast prices felt steep compared to local cafes. Nonetheless, I found the experience nice, especially the personalized touches from the team.

I had a generally pleasant stay at the Intercontinental Istanbul, largely due to its fantastic location and beautiful views of the Bosphorus. The room was clean with a comfortable bed, but it could use some upgrading as there were a few maintenance issues, like a lingering smell from smoke. The breakfast was excellent, though it did get a bit crowded during peak hours. Overall, the attentive staff made my experience enjoyable, but the hotel could improve in some areas related to cleanliness and handling guest requests.
